STC Door removal question

[LongWayToFall 0]

I posted this over on diverdriver, but figured I might get some good input here as well.

A friend has a Cessna 195, that we are looking to take the door off of. (Not installing a jump door) I found the STC in AC105-2C, STC SA1966SW, but the FAA website does not list it anywhere. What is my next step for finding the owner of the STC?
Also, if the STC is free to use, what sort of paperwork is involved with getting this done?
Thank you!

Did you actually read AC 105- 2C?

If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

A C-195 shouldnt take much for an STC as its only door off as stated in AC 105 as a plane not requiring any mods.
Its like jumping a CU-206. No floater bars or steps sit side by side and tip forward.Florida had a mounted jump step and a floater handles. Have fun with it and chreish it as its expensive to operate, fell blessed you got to do it

Yes, I did. Many aircraft listed may be operated without the door on, without an STC. For those aircraft, the new limits of the plane are listed in the aircraft flight manual, or pilot operations handbook. The Cessna 195 is not one of these, and requires an STC to be flown with the door removed. No other equipment needs to be installed, so it is just a paperwork issue.
The bottom line, is that someone out there took the time and money to get the FAA to issue an STC for the plane to be flown with the door off. This was not Cessna. That person owns the STC, and it is possible that they would want to be compensated in order to use their STC. It is very possible that this is not the case however.
I simply am looking for pilots who have gone through the paperwork for something like this.

Yes I am very excited! Radials are very cool aircraft.

Tells you how to find the information in the note at the bottom of the AC.




.....Installation and removal of equipment must be handled in
accordance with the applicable sections of FAR Part 43. The
original alteration to the jump configuration is required to be
performed by an appropriately certificated person and recorded in
the aircraft records. The equipment list and weight and balance
data are required to be revised to show both the jump
configuration and the standard configuration. Subsequent
conversions may be made by the pilot in command if the work falls
within the scope of preventive maintenance (see FAR Part 43,
Appendix A, paragraph (c)). The installation or removal of
equipment in an aircraft or the increase in passenger loads,
other than that already approved for that aircraft, requires some
form of FAA approval such as a type certificate data sheet,
supplemental type certificate data sheet, or FAA field approval,
if applicable.....


Note: Some of the above aircraft may require installation of
deflectors to reduce vibration while being operated with a door
removed. Aircraft must be operated in accordance with approved
procedures. For information regarding the holder of a specific
supplemental type certificate or field approval, contact the
local Flight Standards District Office or Manufacturing
Inspection District Office


That STC does not show up in the FAA STC data base by that number or by aircraft 195 195A or 195B

STC SA1966SW

Try contacting the Los Angeles ACO or Denver ACO. The SW at the end of the STC # stands for South West office, so I would believe it would be LA.
